Bud Light?

Brewers hope Obama taps local ale

Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. told the Globe earlier this week that he prefers Red Stripe, which is brewed in Jamaica, or the German beer Beck’s.


Blue Moon, a Belgian-style beer brewed by Coors, seems to be the choice for Cambridge Police Sergeant James Crowley. That’s what he was seen sipping at Tommy Doyle’s Irish Pub in Kendall Square on Friday when Obama called to invite him to Washington, according to the New York Daily News.


But the White House, which has long been known to favor domestic beer at functions, has hinted that Obama likes Budweiser, which bills itself as “The Great American Lager” (despite its 2008 purchase by Belgian-Brazilian brewer InBev).

Bud? Even worse - Bud Light! Couldn't you pop open a Magic Hat? An organic brew like Wolavers? A Rouge? A microbrew?
